   I got my measles vaccine in 1967.

   I'm hearing mixed things about whether or not I need a booster. I'll ask my GP of course, but if any of the epidemiologists want to chime in, that'd be great.

   Thanks

     @kims maybe you've already seen this data point but,

     From the CDC: "People who were vaccinated prior to 1968 with either inactivated (killed) measles vaccine or measles vaccine of unknown type should be revaccinated with at least one dose of live attenuated measles vaccine. This recommendation is intended to protect those who may have received killed measles vaccine, which was available in 1963-1967 and was not effective."
